Ex. 1 (Part 1 of 5)
�Etha tumhe, Kaalaamaa, maa anussavena, maa
paramparaaya, maa itikiraaya, maa pi.takasampadaanena,
� maa sama.no no garuuti. Yadaa tumhe, Kaalaamaa,
attanaa�va jaaneyyaatha - �ime dhammaa akusalaa, ime
dhammaa saavajjaa, ime dhammaa vi~n~nugarahitaa, ime
dhammaa samattaa samaadinnaa ahitaaya dukkhaaya
sa.mvattantii�ti, atha tumhe, Kaalaamaa,
pajaheyyaatha.
�Come you, Kalamas, not by tradition, nor by hearsay,
nor by rumour, nor by the authority of the scriptures,
� nor because a monk teaches us. When you, Kalamas,
know for yourselves � �these qualities are
unwholesome, these qualities are reprehensible, these
qualities are despised by the wise, these qualities
when taken up and grasped lead to harm and suffering�
� then, Kalamas, you would renounce them�.
